McAaW May Work for Nomination of Gray If He Fails .Omahan Looms as Dark Horse to Frustrate Plans for Selection of Smith of New York. (Continued From Pace One.) Pd the Californian with bo many evi dences of distinguished consideration. They wanted McAdoo to remain In the race so as to gather to himself delegates that could not be gathered Into the Smith fold from the start. Then when the scandal blow-off came In the New York convention the Smith forces could put their man o«r be fore the McAdoo forces could rally and form an offensive against the New York governor. Couzens Makes Discoveries One hint is to the effect that the Couzen's committee has discovered a lot of things not at all to MoAdoo's credit, and that these findings will he available mighty soon after the New York convention In case McAdoo wins. Another hint has to do with an appearance by McAdoo before the War Finance corporation and secur ing an advance for the Morse Ship building corporation, which same Morse was a resident of the federal prison at Atlanta for a brief season. The story is that for his services in securing this advance for Morse Mc Adoo's fee was approximately one lialf the amount. The Nebraska delegation will, of course, vote for its favorite son, Gov ernor Bryan, for a few ballots, but nobody has any idea that Governor Bryan stands a ghost of a show for the nomination. For this reason hoth the Smith and McAdoo forces are laying plans for getting the Ne braska delegation when the favorite son string is played out. This ex plains the why of the mysterious telegrams. The Smith men are con fident that when the break from the favorite son conies Smith will have not less than four of the Nebraska votes, and the effort is now to make this quartet the rallying point. If the Smith men can convince the other delegates that Mr. McAdoo is Im possible, and Smith the logical man. then Nebraska's 16 votes thrown Into the Smith hopper would be a tre mendous Influence In favor of the New York candidate. Gray and M’Addo Friends When McAdoo was director-general of the railroads, President Gray was at the head of the railroad adrainis tration board, and during those stren uous days the two men struck up a warm friendship that has grown even stronger with the passing days. This fact, connected with other facts that are coming to light, give a basis for the rumor that McAdoo, If he real izes he can not m^ke It, would go the limit to defeat Smith, and that he would prefer an upstanding, able ex ecutive of big business calibre like Carl Gray, to a Tammany wet like A! Smith. Another reason advanced for believ ing that McAdoo, whose first choice js, of course. McAdoo. has Gray for a second choice Is that being a man of big business himself, he naturally leans towards a big business execu tive. And everybody who knows Carl Gray knows he is Just that. As one time vice president of the Frisco, Mr. Gray is well and favorably known throughout the southwest. As one time president of the Western Mary land he is equally well and favorably known in the southeast section where that road operates. As president of the Union Pacific he Is equally well and favorably known from the Mis souri river to the Pacific coast. But there is a cloud, now scarcely bigger than a man's hand, that is be ginning to worry both the Smith and McAdoo forces. Bosses Fear Bryan. Tammany, Taggart, Brennan add others are vastly more Interested In local matters than in national, and that fact is pretty generally known. Hence the fear on the part of the ul tra progressive democrats that If they cannot win for Smith they will "lay down" and let the nomination go by default. Upon the floor of the New York convention will be a man from Florida who Is an admitted master of floor tactics and political strategy, William Jennings Bryan. The fear In the hearts of the Smith men Is that after milling around for four or five days without making a nomination, somebody will yell, “What's the matter with Bill Bryan,” ’ and precipitate a stampede to the Ne braskan-Floridan. That, in the opinion of a lot of radi cal democrats would head off La Follette 'and win the support of the Wisconsin man to the democratic ticket. And the Smith men also fear that Bryan would make certain the Im possibility of Smith’s nomination. All that would be left to the bosses then would be to go home and make the best bargain they could for saving their state patronage. Harmony Has Fled. And while these maneuvers are going on the plans are all laid for the democratic special train front Ne braska to the New York convention. There are rumors, however, that a few more reservations would make surer the reduced rates figured on. What for a time appeared to be harmony in the ranks of the delegates now seems something else again, for there are rumors of a sharp difference of opinion as to where the Nebraska vote shall go after the few desultory votes for the favorite son. McAdoo men claim they have a prior right to the delegation after Governor Bryan has been eliminated, but there are some known Smith men on the dele gation. Their first choice is Smith, and their last choice Is Smith, but they are somewhat bound to suppress their feelings for a few ballots and throw them away on Governor Bryan. So it is that just when things were body comes along and throws a mon body comes along and throws a man keywrench Into the cogs and sprinkles sand on the bearings. HELICOPTER TRIAL FLIGHT A SUCCESS Aldershot, England, June 17.—The helicopter, built by Louis Brennan, the English inventor for the air ministry, had a successful tryout Monday morning. The plane hovered at a height of from 10 to 15 feet above the ground for several minutes, ac cording to unofficial reports of the test. Elaborate precautions have been taken to keep the trial secret, part of the airdrome being screened. A thorough search was made outside for spies. The test was witnessed by only a half dozen experts. It is said the helicopter behaved perfectly; that It rose gracefully and, after staying aloft for several minutes easily was brought to earth. No attempts were made to fly horizontally. Some ad justments are to be made In the ma chine and another trial of It Is to be made later In rougher weather than prevailed this morning. POLICE SEEKING 3 MISSING PERSONS C. T.

Pete Rasmussen, 504 Twenty-firet avenue, Council Bluffs, reported that his wife. 27, had disappeared from home, leaving him with their two chil dren. He thinks she may have been at tracted by a stage career. Sid Salvin, 35, 1101 North Eigh teenth Rtreet. has been missing from home since Friday. KOUTSKY ASKS SIGN REMOVED Commissioner Joseph Koutsky rec ommended the removal of a sign board at Forty-eighth and Leaven worth streets at the request of the West Leavenworth Improvement club Tuesday morning. He objected to being asked to recommend the move, however, on the ground that the sign board advertised a home in the dis trict that was helpful to the future of the district, and should, therefore, not be considered a nuisance.
